(NEWSER) – An alleged murderer escaped his Moscow prison cell through a hole in the ceiling early today, theMoscow Times reports, but the newspaper leaves out the most intriguing detail of Oleg Topalov's escape: He may have managed it using a spoon. According to a law enforcement source, that would have been "the only tool suitable for making a hole in the ceiling" that Topalov would have had in his cell, the Voice of Russia reports. Cells at the prison are regularly inspected for any forbidden items.
